I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere here but Ohtani is not pitching against the Mariners on Sunday.
That could come into play in a big wayI didn’t see it mentioned anywhere here but Ohtani is not pitching against the Mariners on Sunday.
Striking out the side on 10 pitches is exceptionalThe last 15 minutes is a pretty good representation of the entire history of the Padres.
Eh, the Rays owe them a solid from 2011. More relevantly, the Rays are going to be relying on some pretty green rookies in McClanahan and Baz (and an incredible bullpen) to pitch them deep into October. I wouldn't hold my breath hoping they're going to push them (or their bullpen) too hard in Yankee Stadium in meaningless games against a desperate Yankees team they they may have to face in the ALDS anyway. I'm just hoping that the Rays take one this weekend somehow.Isn't there some bad blood between the Rays and MFY, though (he asked, hopefully)? It seems to me that Tampa would love to kick the MFY down the stairs for good this year. Especially since it would dispose of a team that reasonably would be considered more of a threat than Boston or Seattle.
Out of Dodger stadium:OMG Tatis just hit a moonshot. Bounced off the top of the roof in LF.
How many times has that been done in LA?

More threads are better, and megathreads suck. I was about to start a stand-alone thread, but Ale Xander beat me to it:Should there be a game thread for tonight's NL WC game or should there just be a catchall for non-Red Sox October baseball?
